Posted by on May 23, 2011 1 comment

This implements a DirectShow driver/wrapper over a HTTP based JPEG/M-JPEG streamed video, widely available with IP cameras. Once installed, it provides a Start Menu shortcut to manage video capture devices, where a user can add/remove devices. The devices are automatically registered with DriectShow and are available to applications.

The compatibility list includes:

  • Windows SDK AmCap Sample (reference)
  • VideoLan VLC
  • Skype (see below)
  • Google Talk Video Chat
  • Luxriot (as rather an example as Luxriot has its own generic JPEG/M-JPEG device driver, however this still demonstrates compatibility and interoperability of applications)
  • GraphEdit, GraphStudio and similar tools

Google Talk Sidebar Widget 1.0 for WordPress 2.5

Posted by on April 3, 2008 6 comments

WordPress is great but each upgrade or theme change is a bit painful because all customizations have to be moved manually and as long they are direct file edits, including fixes for not quite correct theme files.

So after all at least some of the updates have to be made as WordPress Plugins.

Here we start with Google Talk Sidebar Widget Plugin (for WordPress 2.5). Google offered chatback badge to offer web chat through Jabber/XMPP compatible Google Talk instant messaging network.

User quotes:

What’s cool about it is it’s anonymous both ways. I don’t have to expose my Google-ness to random visitors on the web, and if it gets annoying I can turn it off. Also, and most likely to be actually useful, people I actually know can go to my blog, check my status, and ping me if I’m around, all without downloading a client. On their end, Google is just running a web browser session for them. They don’t even need a Google account.
